6 Market Environment The Market Environment Section discusses factors influencing acrylic resin demand, including technology and environmental considerations. This information provides you with an understanding and an analysis of the climate in which the acrylic resins industry operates. Acrylic Resins #1492 Feedstocks MARKET ENVIRONMENT Demand for raw materials used in the manufacture of acrylic monomers will expand 3.8 percent per year to 4.4 billion pounds in the year 2005. Raw material feedstocks utilized SAMPLE in the production PAGEof acrylic resins consist primarily of acetone and hydrogen cyanide (to produce methacrylates), acrylic acid (to produce acrylates) and a range of monohydric alcohols with which the feedstocks are reacted to produce the various acrylic monomers. Other chemicals, while not feedstocks, are also utilized, including catalysts and sulfuric acid. In general, the feedstocks and other necessary chemicals required for acrylic resins production are widely available and in adequate supply. Back-integration into raw materials is commonplace in the acrylates sector of the industry, with all four producers operating acrylic acid production facilities. In addition, three of the four manufacture at least some of the alcohols required for acrylics production. In methacrylates, however, the situation is markedly different. Apart from Rohm and Haas, which produces its own hydrogen cyanide, methacrylate producers must purchase their raw material requirements on the merchant market. Overall, Dow Chemical is the most back-integrated, with inhouse production of acrylic acid, ethanol, butanol, ethylhexanol and isopropanol. The supply of monohydric alcohols for use in acrylic resin manufacture is more than adequate, and there are a number of different sources for these products. The principal alcohols used in the manufacture of acrylic resins are methanol, butanol, ethanol and ethylhexanol. The supply of methanol and ethanol is not expected to be a problem, since acrylics production represents a comparatively small end use. With respect to butanol and ethylhexanol, however, the situation is different since acrylics manufacture represents a significant outlet for both alcohols. Acetone is the largest volume feedstock used in the manufacture of methacrylates, specifically methyl methacrylate. Unlike acrylates, which all begin with acrylic Freedonia Industry Study
